A stone enclosed [like jade] is truly not genuine; / An adorned vase is verily an imitation. / Illicitly wearing robes atop the palace gate, / Playing out of tune beneath the black carriage. / Sacrifice of the phoenix vainly startles the heart; / The patterns of the swift steed ultimately prefer the wilds. / How could the true mark ever be illuminated? / Fleeting glory cannot yet be abandoned. / Traces differ from those clad in caps and robes, / Yet affairs follow those who scurry about. / Let it cease! Stop the sounds of Zheng; / Do not thus disrupt the Ya odes of Zhou.
